Legends from Everton and Liverpool have agreed to take part in a golf day to raise money for Stick 'n' Step, a charity which uses specialist teachers flown in from Hungary to help disabled children to walk, read and write.

Yesterday ex-Liverpool player Ian St John and former Everton star Derek Mountfield visted the charity to see for themselves the fine work it does.

Seven-year-old Luke Percy from Eastham could not stand up when he arrived at the cerebral palsy charity. Now, two years later, he can stand, walk and run.

His mother, Paula Percy, 35, said the change in him was amazing.

She said: "Everything you hope and pray for for your child is becoming more of a reality for him."

Former Liverpool players Gary Gillespie, Alan Kennedy and Phil Neal, ex-Evertonian Duncan McKenzie and ex-Manchester United player Frank Stapleton will play in the charity golf day at Bromborough golf club on April 30.
